National Society of Hispanic MBA’s Detroit Chapter fundraising became a challenge with the economic climate of the auto industry which was in the past years it’s primary source. We developed a strategy that provided a strong chapter board, with a common goal and deliverables to attract non-automotive corporations. As a result we were able to raise $65,000 for the chapter, an amount higher than any of the other 35 chapters nationwide. Apart from fundraising we developed a strategic plan that included a series of chapter events what would provide ROI to the sponsors that provided funds to the NSHMBA chapter.
